Things you must consider before you begin your Entrepreneurship Journey

Important thing every entrepreneur must consider before getting started.

Starting a business doesn’t have to be complicated as it was before. Starting a business is very easy. Difficult is to run it successfully over a period of time and make a profit from business and simultaneously changing the life of thousands of people with your business idea. Many startups fail in a few months or years because of their inability to survive in adverse conditions. Therefore, before you start your own business, you must understand your strengths, your weaknesses, your finances, your skills, your goals etc. For example, how will you finance your business operations? Do you intend to use own savings or you will get a loan for financing your business operations? Will you be able to run at a loss in the initial months, if yes for how long you can run at a loss? What are the areas you are not familiar with e.g. Finance, Operations, Technology, Sales & Marketing, Administration etc.? No one other than you knows better answers to these questions; therefore you need to be brutally honest with yourself while answering these important questions. It will help you outline the areas where you would need help in successfully running your business. After properly evaluating yourself, if you realize that you are not having enough knowledge or expertise in any area, doesn’t mean that you can’t start or you should not start a business. You can still start and your realization simply means that you would need help with those aspects of business.every startup founder must understand that getting funding from a VC or Angel Investor for your business idea is not an endorsement for your business idea as well as for your capabilities. Time and talent is the most valuable thing in this world and therefore it is not sensible to invest the best time of your life into a business idea just because someone is willing to invest few lakhs rupees into it while playing golf.
